J Balvin home in Colombia is a modern and peaceful home surrounded by nature. Let’s take a look at his refuge.
José Alvaro Osorio Balvin is a popular Colombian singer with worldwide collaborations and breaking records. Despite being known for its eccentric looks, his home is a peaceful and quiet space. Let’s take a look at his loft in Medellín, where simplicity and calmness are the keywords.
The Latin Grammy Award-winner says that “Architecture, music, fashion—they’re all forms of expression. When it comes to the places I live, I definitely take a less-is-more approach. A house should be a place where you can rest your spirit. I’ve tried to create places that feed my soul, not my ego.”
J Balvin chose the firm 5 Sólidos to work on the interior design of the home because they are a local latin company passionate for design.
According to Elisa Ortega, partner in 5 Sólidos, J Balvin was a very demanding client, “he has a clear idea of what he likes and how he wants to live. You see it reflected in the artwork he collects, the books on the shelves, the neutral palette-every detail down to the sheets and towels.”
J Balvin home is a Medellín refuge
The home has a clear Japanese influence with a blackened wood siding and shoji-like framed linen doors. There are also luminous planes of French oak on the inside, side by side with modern design furnishings.
This unique and modern home has a deck that connects the house with a swimming pool made to create a calm and tranquil space. Inside, every room is adorned with art. “There’s lots of color in the pieces Jose collects, so he wanted a very muted palette to keep the focus on the paintings and sculpture,” the designer Correa says. We can find art pieces by Takashi Murakami, Josh Sperling, KAWS, and more.
“I just love the process. It would be amazing to create special hotels of fine art and style, something with an Aman vibe with contributions by people like KAWS and Murakami,” says J Balvin. “Their work makes me feel like I’m a kid again, laughing on the playground. That’s a great feeling.”
